Quick FX CC Cream Review

I received this product from Quick FX a few months ago and have been trying to decide what my final verdict for this product was and now that I finally know, I'll be sharing it to you guys. 

Price:

PHP 89 at any Watsons or SM Department Store at their beauty section.

What do I think about it?

So, from the packaging, it claims to color correct which can conceal, hydrate and protect and give a healthy glow on the skin on one application. Their directions for use is on the back and it says: Apply in circular motion blending evenly into skin. Layer for buildable coverage. Wear underneath foundation to minimize the appearance of imperfections, even out skintone, and provide natural luminosity to dull skin. 

Okay, so for me, I tried this as an actual CC cream and just used it on my face for a whole day and I'm not so sure about that because it totally did not last on my skin and made me look greasy. The next day, I tried this the same way, applying it all over my face and then putting a foundation on top. It made me look way cakey and very unnatural. I was starting to dislike it from this part on but then I tried to read the actual product and all I could see was "color correct" (you know the saying, sometimes a pencil is just a pencil, don't overthink it). Then, I used this just on my red or dark spots and blemishes that are way too noticeable, blended it in and then put a foundation above it. With this method, it worked perfectly for me and a plus because the red spots that I had before applying this now gives me a nice healthy glow which is an illusion and I didn't expect from this product.

Do note that this is not a concealer at all but just a color corrector. 

Is it worth the money?

After figuring out what it was meant for is the reason that I think it is definitely worth the money because it's pretty cheap and comes with a resealable pack. You honestly don't have to use much of this product everytime. Just a dot per spot you wanna color correct is enough. This CC cream also has just one shade which is nothing to worry about because it does adapt to every skin type. I used this on my friend and my mom who had different skin tones than I do and it worked amazing for them too.

Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream Review

I received this BB cream from Wishtrend just a few weeks ago and have been trying it out ever since. I did use a friend of mine to use this product too just to be sure of what I experienced with this product although I did not take pictures of her but the results were the same. So, What do I think about it? Let's see below:

Price:

This was from Wishtrend and on their website, it says that it's USD 24.99

Briefing:

This product only has one shade which claims to be suitable for all skin colors since it adapts to whatever your color is so don't be intimidated by the fact that I may have darker or lighter skin tone than you after seeing me use this product. It has a dewy finish that has very little coverage but is easily buildable. 

Below you would see me applying the bb cream to my face at around 9:30 AM (with primer beforehand) and then just put some powder, filled in my eyebrows and used some carmex for my lips. At 12:10 PM you could see that it blended into my skin really nicely and natural that it looks as if I have a subtle glow to my skin. Although at 3:56 PM the glowy / oily look went overboard so I had to try blotting and it resulted to me looking like I have almost nothing on my face. At 9:48 PM (sorry for the bad lighting), Was the last time I decided to check on it and remove my makeup. You could see as I wipe off my makeup, there was still some product left which just means it didn't fade and it just made my skin looking natural but better. 

Is it worth the money?

$24.99 for me is honestly quite alot but after using this product, I find that it would suit the liking for those who aspire to have that beautiful Korean glowing skin. This BB cream however does not provide coverage for blemishes but it does hides the red spots on the face making the tone even and having people focus on the glow and how natural it looks, it definitely feels like second skin because it is very light that you forget you have makeup on. 

It is helpful for those who have dry skin because of how hydrating the product is when applied to the face. No detection of patches throughout the day (and weeks) that I've been using this though I do have a combination to oily skin. It also claims to improve your wrinkles on your face which I would still have yet to find out if it's true. And it doesn't worsen the already present acne or blemishes on the face which I could say is definitely true.
